D. T. RYGMYR SAFETY RAZOR Filed May 2, 1930 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Al lomey Patented Nov. 1, 1932 i UNITED STATES DERVEN T. RYGMYR, OF FOREST (iITY, IOWA SAFETY RAZOR Application filed May 2, 1930. Serial No. 449,246.

The present invention relates to safety razors and more particularly to that type of safety razor in which the razor embodies means for guiding the strop, by means of which the blade of the razor is stropped and for oscillating the blade to bring alternate faces thereof into engagement with the strop.

The object of the invention is toprovide a razor of this nature which is simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, thoroughly eflicient andreliable and useful in operation, easy tomanipulate and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed. 7

jects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in :certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as 2 will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings: 7 Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the razor in a released position, 7

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view through the razor showing the blade in locked position, 7

Figure 3 is a perspective view thereof, Figure 4 is a longitudinal section showing the blades in released position with strops in operative association therewith, and

Figure 5 is a detail view of the strop. Referring to thedrawings'in detail it will be seen that the numeral 5-denotes a base plate of a razor head which includes the side 6 extending perpendicularly therefrom and being somewhat triangular in formation. 'A handle 7 projects perpendicularly from the base plate-5. In the outer upper corners of the sides 6 there is rockably mounted ablade 11 and the blade and thus when the razor is With the above and numerous other obreciprocated back and forth along the strop the blade oscillates to-prevent the proper face i to the strop as will be well recognized to those skilled in this art. A roller 12 is mounted in thelower cor- '50 ners of the sides 6 so as to hold the strop in proper position for engagement with the blade adjacent its cutting edge.

A bar 14 is rockably mounted as at 15 on one side 6 and has its snap connection with the other side 6. The central portion of the bar is projected as at 17 to engage the blade and hold it firmly against the roller 12 as is shown in Figure 2 for shaving purposes.

Itis thought that the construction, operation, utility and advantages of this invention will now be quite apparent to thoseskilled 1n this art" without a more detailed description thereof.

The present embodiment of'the invention has been disclosed in considerable detail merely forthe purposes of exemplification since in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the 7 statement of the invention and the above description. i

It is apparent, that changes in the details of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages. I

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:

A safety razor of the class described comprising a head consisting of triangular shaped end parts and a bar connecting the side edges of the base portions of the triangular end portionstogether, a handle connected with the central part of the bar, a blade having trunnions at its ends journalled in the outer corners of the base parts of the triangular shaped ends, a roller journalled in the apexes of said ends, a holder bar for holding the blade against said roller, whereby said roller acts as a guard for the cutting edge of the blade when the razor is being used for shaving, a second roller journalled in the ends of the head and spaced inwardly from the pivoted edge of the blade and gears connected 'with the trunnions of the blade and said sec-- ond roller and meshing with each other for imparting arocking movement to the blade when a strop is passed over the rollers.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
